Where do we drop the wings off at?
Most the guys just mail them to me. Its cheaper to remove the bones from the wings and snip off the primaries.
Just PM me and I'll give you my mailing address. Be sure to include the name for the wingbone and the return address when sending them.
Thanks, Ron

Do you prefer right or left wing feathers? Or doesn't matter? Thanks
I use both wings. Some people want left wing fletch and some prefer right wing fletch.

Awesome bird! I think I'll pass on them unless you want a wingbone call made. Looks like the secondaries have some nice mottling for flytying purposes.

I bet two regular feathers for vanes. and a black feather for the cock feather would be awesome. I know where you could sell a dozen at least!!I would probably sell them. Where would I sell them Rick?

Post by: Tree Killer on June 10, 2022, 07:18:54 PM
I also haven't sent mine. Have the wing bones in the freezer and feathers cut for two birds for you. I figured with everyone hunting a few late ones wouldn't hurt but let me know if you're done for the season.
Feel free to mail them if possible. Thanks, Ron

Looks great as always.
This one goes to my son's Father-in-law.

He will be THRILLED to receive it.
Thanks again.

Will you still take mine that have been in the freezer since last season?
The feathers, yes. The bones might be really hard to clean. The marrow turns to glue when frozen for a year.

Post by: TriggerMike on May 06, 2024, 06:53:36 PM
That time of year again boys and girls. I’ve been trading Wingbone Yelpers in exchange for the wing primaries for quite a few years now. Hunters send me the entire wings, or the bones and primaries, and I build them a personalized wingbone call. I use the feathers to fletch wood arrows I build for people. PM me if you have wings you’d like to exchange.Can I send you a couple wings this week? Tried sending a PM a couple weeks ago but wanted to confirm you're still accepting shipments at the address you posted further up the thread.
Post by: Tree Killer on April 03, 2025, 12:57:24 PM
I've been super busy building arrows the last several months, so using LOTS of wild turkey primaries. If anybody wants a personalized wingbone yelper in exchange for your feathers, just go to the first page and you'll see what I need for the wingbone call. Thanks!
